INSTALLATION EXAMPLES
EQUIPMENT ACCESSIBILITY & PROTECTION
The equipment must be located in an area where it will remain dry and will not be exposed to rain, snow or ground water.
• When your swim spa is to be installed above ground, the factory cabinet is designed for both protection and accessibility
• When your swim spa is to be installed fully or partially in the ground, or if you have ordered a swim spa without a cabinet: it
is necessary that the equipment be installed in an area that is dry, protected from the elements, has proper ventilation, and
is easily accessible for service
• Always ensure that the equipment is mounted on a raised base or platform to prevent potential water damage to the mo-
tors, equipment or controls. Note that the equipment is supplied on a raised composite support equipment platform.
• Ensure that access to the equipment, and the working area around the equipment, is large enough to accommodate a
service person
• The equipment should be located as close to the swim spa as possible to maximize jet performance
• Whenever possible, install the pump(s) and control with heater below water level to ensure easy priming and maximize
performance.
• Install protective waterproof conduit to house applicable cords or line extensions such as the topside control cables, light
wires or ozone tubing.
• In climates where freeze/thaw occurs we recommend that remote plumbing lines be buried below the frost line and that
pipe insulation is applied over all pipes that run from the swim spa to the remote equipment to help maintain energy efficien-
cy.
EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT
• The equipment should be located as close to the swim spa as possible to maximize jet performance
• Whenever possible, install the pump(s) and control with heater below water level to ensure easy priming
• Piping diameter on pump lines must be 2.5 in. for inlet/ suction pipes and 2 in. for outlet/pressure pipes with minimal use of
elbows.
• Install protective waterproof conduit to house applicable cords or line extensions such as the topside control cables, light
wires or ozone tubing.
The swim spa equipment is designed for indoor use out of the direct elements.
Y
our custom enclosure or other
structure must be designed to provide protection for the swim spa support equipment from rain, snow, splash wa-
ter, etc., but still designed in a manner to ensure adequate ventilation.
• All field installed plumbing must meet minimum sizes as previously outlined in order to conform to regulated standards
regarding safe inlet and outlet flows. If required, please call your dealer for more detailed drawings.
